Introduction
The accessibility of healthcare services is a vital topic that needs to be assessed in the community for the ease in the development of the healthcare standard in the community. National Center for Health Statistics (2016) presents that the cases of accessibility of healthcare services should be considered of importance in the rural areas due to the challenge of lack of health institutions. Accessibility to healthcare involves making use of health services in gaining health outcomes that are desirable. Typically, the process involves getting an entry to the health care system or coverage, getting access of a location that healthcare services are got, and findings the healthcare providers to help in the provision of health services (Stoddart & Evans, 2017). This paper explores the data collected in relation to the cases of Access to health services in Miami-Dade County.
Similarities that are apparent between the data that were gathered and the data that were generated
There are various similarities that are apparent between the information that is collected and the data that is generated. Typically, one of the factors that are observed is the fact that there is a high number of healthcare facilities in the community. The community has had an increasing development in the healthcare organization and this has played a critical role in the process of development of the efficiency standards of patient care. In addition, this will ensure that one is able to make use of the resources in the enhancement of the health standards. This is as well in line with the fact that the process of provision of care has changed over time.
The other factors that have been seen to be similar for the data collected and the data generated are community awareness. There has been a rise in awareness among the community members on the accessibility of healthcare services. Taking this into account, there has been an ease in the process of seeking health services among the people living in the community. Serrano et al. (3027) present that with the support of the healthy people 2020, there is a need for the effective development of the awareness of healthcare services. This is in line with the information collected that indicates that there has been an enhancement in the process of seeking health services among the people in the community. This is has been seen from the interview of the people in the community and getting to know that the health services are of importance.
The information on increasing chances of patients care information there is a need for the elimination of any cases of lack of health support. It is important that a strategy is put in place to allow for the healthcare providers to make use of their skills in the process of provision of health services. Typically, the application of the skills is important because it ensures that one is able to eliminate any cases of unreliable processes of omission of patient needs.
Differences that are apparent between the data that were gathered and the data that were generated
There are data variations in the case of the age of people who have health insurance and increasing support for the use of insurance in the community. The data that is gathered indicates that patients of all ages have had increased use of insurance but the rise in the use of insurance has been seen in the case of children and women. The population of Miami-Dade County has focused on the insurance of the women and the children with the consideration that this is the vulnerable population. However, the data that is presented in the healthy people 2020 has presented that the increase in the population making use of insurance is seen among the elderly population. It has been affirmed that in 2007 the population of the people younger than 65 years were 83% and in 2017, the population was 89% (HealthyPeople.gov, 2019).
The other difference in the data that was gathered and the data that was generated is on the change in the people who are getting access to healthcare services. The indication in the community is that the cases of use of healthcare primary care providers were 76 percent in 2015 (HealthyPeople.gov, 2019). However, it is seen from the community that all the people have had a chance of making use of primary care providers in Miami-Dade County. This implies that the number of healthcare providers in the community has been seen to have increased over time and 100% of the people are seen to have had a chance of increased patient care. The people getting access to care are both the people with and without the insurance
